The shirt, released for the upcoming 2013-14 season, features a turnover collar for the first time in 13 years giving fans and players the opportunity to mimic the legendary French striker, who won four Premier League titles in five memorable years at Old Trafford.

"There’s only one person who should be wearing their collars up: Eric Cantona. And he’s retired," he told The Sun.

Ferdinand, who made 34 appearances in all competitions last season and scored the winning goal in Sir Alex Ferguson's final home game at the club, recently signed a new one-year contract which will keep him at Old Trafford until 2014.
